Comfortable for walking and standing

Reviewed by Kate from San Francisco on Saturday, November 2, 2013

I ordered these boots a month ago and have worn them about 10 times since then. They are very comfortable and look great with everything. On the first day I wore them, I walked about 4 miles to and from and outdoor concert, and they held up well although my legs needed to adjust to walking with the negative heel- I did not pay attention to the warning in the box. They did not need breaking in though; the leather is very soft. The color is a little lighter than the picture but looks great, especially after being conditioned with some Dr. Marten's shoe balsam. I can stand all day for teaching in these. This is my first pair of Kalso Earth shoes although I have several pairs of Earthies. I love them and will probably buy the Diablo.

Based on other reviews, I sized down from a 7.5 to a 7 and there's still a little bit of slipping with thin socks on, so be sure to wear thick socks with these. Especially because of the fit; you may end up having your heel rise up with each step.
